Wiener's theorem for positive definite functions on hypergroups

Functional Analysis 2022-01-04 v1

Abstract

The following theorem on the circle group T\mathbb{T} is due to Norbert Wiener: If fL1(T)f\in L^{1}\left( \mathbb{T}\right) has non-negative Fourier coefficients and is square integrable on a neighbourhood of the identity, then fL2(T)f\in L^{2}\left( \mathbb{T}\right) . This result has been extended to even exponents including p=p=\infty, but shown to fail for all other p(1,].p\in\left( 1,\infty\right] . All of this was extended further (appropriately formulated) well beyond locally compact abelian groups. In this paper we prove Wiener's theorem for even exponents for a large class of commutative hypergroups. In addition, we present examples of commutative hypergroups for which, in sharp contrast to the group case, Wiener's theorem holds for all exponents p[1,]p\in\left[ 1,\infty\right] . For these hypergroups and the Bessel-Kingman hypergroup with parameter 12\frac{1}{2} we characterise those locally integrable functions that are of positive type and square-integrable near the identity in terms of amalgam spaces.
